cast-on work in your left hand and pick up the ball-end yarn with your right hand. Then take the right-hand needle and slip it into the first loop, right to left, bottom to top (Figure A).
Slip the first loop off the left needle, and there! You have just made a purl stitch.
Repeat until you have finished the row. You'll see that all the stitches have a loop right under them, almost like they're wearing little pearl necklaces. Flip your work and start again - now you know how to purl!
